BREWSTER — Two men have been arrested in connection with two Brewster car break-ins and are suspected in other robberies on the Outer Cape.

Brewster police arrested Michael Worsman, 22, of Dennis at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday after receiving information about his possible involvement with unsolved cases in Brewster, according to a statement from the Brewster police.

After allegedly recovering stolen items from Worsman, the police got a search warrant for a residence in Yarmouth, which was executed at 9:45 p.m. Tuesday by officers from Yarmouth, Brewster, Chatham and Harwich. The officers found additional stolen property, police said.

Also at that home, they arrested Kevin Wordell, 22, from Yarmouth. Timothy Evans, 23, of Brewster, who was in the house, was arrested on unrelated charges.

Worsman has been charged with breaking into and entering a motor vehicle and larceny over $250, according to police.

Wordell has been charged with breaking into and entering a motor vehicle, larceny over $250 and receiving stolen property.

Evans has been charged with attempting to commit a crime (breaking and entering) and malicious destruction of property. He was taken into custody by the Harwich police.

As of Wednesday morning, Wordell and Worsman had been linked with two Brewster car break-ins, but police continue to go through stolen property and anticipate additional charges for more car breaks.

Harwich police are investigating the suspects' alleged involvement with a larceny from a residence in Harwich and Orleans police are investigating the suspects' potential involvement with a commercial break-in in Orleans, said Brewster police Lt. Heath Eldredge.

All three men were arraigned in Orleans District Court on Wednesday and have pretrial hearings scheduled for Jan. 24.
